Common causes of wrongful death may include car accident, large truck accidents, medical malpractice, defective products and workplace accidents:
- Car accidents – Car accidents occur all too frequently, but these accidents may result in death in many cases, based on various factors such as the speed of the vehicles and the force of the impact.
- Large truck accidents – Given the size and force of large commercial trucks, trucking accidents often pose a severe risk of catastrophic injuries or even death, especially for the occupants of a passenger vehicle struck by the truck.
- Medical malpractice – Medical malpractice, such as a doctor’s error during an operation or failure to properly diagnose an issue, may result in death.
- Defective products – Defective products may wrongfully cause a victim’s death, whether the death was caused by a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn of potential dangers of using the product.
- Workplace accidents – Many dangerous conditions may often be present in a workplace, especially if an employer fails to provide proper safety equipment or training or if employees fail to follow safe work practices.
